Chapter 110 New Game Launch
Chapter 110 New Game Launch
"What do you mean 'I did it on purpose'? Hey, Commander, don't accuse me wrongly!"
"I was just substituting for a class and casually promoted the game our platform is about to launch. How could it be that I was deliberately promoting our First Legion at this time..."
"I'm telling the truth... Sigh, if you guys are really that upset, you could make a game to recruit students—wait, why did it crash?"
Li Xingzhuo sighed deeply, staring at his disconnected communication screen, his face a picture of hurt, as if his good intentions had been taken for granted. "Sigh, I was telling the truth, why wouldn't they believe me?"
This time, Li Xingzhuo really wasn't lying. He genuinely just went to promote the new game by the red-clothed girl, using the word-of-mouth from the military academy students who tried it out to generate buzz before the game's official release, letting netizens know that the quality of this game was no worse than the previous ones.
To his surprise, the publicity was too effective. Not only was the game promoted – everyone wanted to experience the same "tutorial" – but it also inexplicably promoted the new "benefits" of their First Legion.
Li Xingzhuo had seen all the speculations on the StarNet, and it has to be said that some of them were indeed correct – because after the red-clothed woman finished the game, Li Xingzhuo really did have his soldiers conduct tests.
His soldiers were quite willing to participate, and every time there was an opportunity for such a test, they would fight tooth and nail for a spot.
However, the game played by the red-clad soldiers was basically bug-free, and the soldiers always treated it as a game to experience. At most, Li Xingzhuo would add some inhuman "little suggestions" after seeing the soldiers' performance.
There were even rumors circulating on the StarNet that "the reason why the game is so difficult for the red-clad characters is because the experience of the First Legion has been improved."
In all honesty, Li Xingzhuo felt extremely wronged. He had only offered a few "minor" suggestions; the overall framework was decided by Hongyi alone!
The blame for the game's difficulty cannot be placed on him!
However, there are also advantages. With the endorsement of the "First Legion Test" and "Same as the First Military Academy Student Game", the sales of the new game "High School Student Simulator" probably exceeded 10,000 in less than 3 minutes after its release.
There was an outcry online:
"Didn't everyone say 'Anyone who buys this is a fool' before the game was released?! So what's with these sales figures?!"
"Did the First Legion inflate their sales figures?"
"No way, 168 RMB for a game that's just a simulation of high school life, who are these suckers buying it?"
"There are so many rich people, why can't there be one more like me?"
"Did the military academy students buy it? Wasn't that video of Li Xingzhuo using a 'high school student simulator' as 'teaching material' to teach the students at the First Military Academy really popular? Students from other military academies probably bought the same one to experience learning on their own..."
"...This kind of publicity tactic is unprecedented."
"After all, they're backed by the First Legion. Why not take advantage of such a strong background?"
"Putting everything else aside, you have no idea how many fans Li Xingzhuo has among military academy students... He didn't personally promote 'Reunion' before, but this time he personally went to the military academy to 'promote' the 'High School Simulator,' so his fans will definitely support it..."
"With so many military academy students on board, sales this time are probably going to be pretty high. Those who wanted to see Red Shirt and 'New World' make a fool of themselves are probably not going to get their wish..."
……
"Have you bought all the games from First Legion?"
Inside the Seventh Legion's base next door, an elite squad was huddled together.
"I bought it, I bought it."
"Why did they suddenly notify us to buy a game? Is it because it's a game released on the First Legion platform?"
"I don't know... and they even asked us to record the game..."
"Maybe they just want to see what the First Legion's game is like? I heard from my brothers in the Eighth Legion that they issued similar missions over there..."
"Hmm, maybe our legion is thinking of making something similar? This game seems to be making quite a bit of money, 168 per player, and it's only been online for a short time, yet it's already getting so many purchases..."
"The version I heard is that this game seems to train some kind of observation skills..."
"Huh? Just based on a game? Is the First Legion going this far to sell merchandise now? If playing games is so effective, what about our daily training?!"
"Who knows? That's what everyone's saying online..."
"What kind of knowledge can netizens have... Does playing mecha combat games mean you can actually pilot a mecha in real life?"
"What's the use of complaining now..." The squad leader interrupted the others' discussion and complaints, and made a decision, "Anyway, the mission has already been issued. We just need to complete the mission as soon as possible and submit the screen recording. Today's training mission is not yet completed... Everyone had better hurry up."
"Captain, don't worry... I looked it up online before, and this game is supposedly a level-based game. Level-based games are all very simple, we can finish it in less than an hour."
"Then why don't you hurry up and get into the game?" The captain slapped the teammate who spoke on the back.
"Oh……"
A group of people put on gaming helmets in unison.
The selected game icon rippled across the surface of water, and the group simultaneously pressed the match button.
